Project: Ecostore Rail Unload BuildingLocation: Drax Power Station, SelbyMain Contractor: Shepherd ConstructionClient: Volker Ground EngineeringProgramme: 24 weeksSolution: Complex steel piled cofferdam support comprising three levels of MGF 406 UC Brace and 28 No. 250t hydraulic struts

Key Features

Complex cofferdam to tight timescale.Effective collaboration between MGF, Volker Ground Engineering, permanent works designers and main contractor, Shepherd Construction.MGF modelled REVIT design in autodesk allowing effective demonstration and engagement with Volker Ground Engineering and the wider project team. The Project

The scheme at Drax was originally designed with four levels of temporary framing which was to be welded in- situ. Construction constraints within the final excavated cofferdam structure meant that long steel sections were unable to be lowered and placed without considerable health and safety implications for the lifting and placement operations.

The modular MGF system gave a degree of flexibility in the operation which led to a safer system of work and reduced programme installation time.

The modular frame design was modelled in Autodesk REVIT, software specifically built for BIM, which enabled MGF to demonstrate all aspects of the scheme to the Project Team at the pre-construction stage.

“ During pre-construction discussions and meetings, the Company’s 3D computer modelling enabled us to convey the concept and construction methods that were envisaged, which provided a higher level of confidence in the equipment and thus eased the approval process. Once the construction phase commenced over the winter of 2012, our site staff were able to draw upon the support of the MGF design and field services personnel which ensured the successful delivery of the system to provide the required support to a complicated basement structure.”
